THE HONOLULU REVOLT.

The Best Classes Were in Charge of tho
Movement, and Is Was Entirely Successful.
SAN Francisco. CAL, July 1G.-The whole
coast 10 excited over the news of successful
revolution in Hawaii Opinion is unanimous
that the overthrow OF Gibson, who has pan
dered to all the caprices. good and bad. OF the
Hawaiian monarch. will be of the greatest ulti-
mate benefit to the Sandwich Islands. That no
blood was spilled in the movement is due to Inc
thorough aud complete methods of the revolu-
tionists and their determined stand. The mass
meeting which adopted what amounted to .
Hawaiian declaration of indebendence was, ac-
cording to the advices received here by the
steamer Mariposa, ready for any emer-
gency, no matter how serious
It was attended by the best
elements of ell classes native and foreign, all
fully armed. The sentiment was so strong and
unanimous for change in the government that
the king was virtually left without sufficient ad-
herents to make show Of oppos:.ion.
Though when the steamer left Honolulu matters
seemed to be quieting down, fears expressed
here that the worst has probably not come.
Ex-Premier Gibson is not the man to take his
downfall quietly the reports thus far re-
ceived would make it appear. If he is not sum-
marily got out of the way. he will. without
doubt, seek to regain his lost power,
and he will not stand upon the
method of obtaining it. If he finds it possible
to incite resistance to the new government, he
Will certainly do SO. and then viii. inevitably fol-
low a bloody civil war. Many are looking for
some such news by the next steamer. This APP
prehension of trouble is undoubtedly shared at
Honolulu, as shown by the fact that when the
steamer Mariposa left that city the white resi-
dents were leaving as fast possible. Every
state-room the steamer Alameda. which is
the next steamer to leave for San Francisco, is
already engaged.
It is generally conceded here that Claus
Spreckels is the Honolulu Warwick, or Hawaiian
king maker, and that he was indirectly the
cause of the revolution. Prior to the attempt
to float the new $1,000, 900 loan Spreckels was a
power in the kingdom and hand-in-giove
with the king. Since portion Of this loan,

son of Claus, however. denies that his father or
the firm had anything to as with the movsment.
He said TO day:

been told we were not concerned in any plc.s.
There have also been proposals that a body Of
men be sent down from San Fran cisco to take a
hand. That idea has also been repelled.

will continue to do So"
It NAV not be q mistaken idea that the
Ministry is supposed to be favorable to Spreck-
els party belief exists here that the visit of
Queen Kapiolani to London was not go much to
do honor to Queen Victoria as to boom the two
million dollar loan. The latest report regarding
this loan is that orders have been issued to with
draw it from the London market, owing to the
revolution.
Kalakaua has already voluntarily begun to

of him. Just before the Mariposa sailed for San
Francisco. Kalakaua announced that balls to be

could not. however. be in any way confirmed
